Hi all, I've just started looking into Hibernate as a possible replacement for the product we are currently using, SolarMetric Kodo JDO. The first thing I noticed is that Hibernate requires you to register all the persistent capable classes in Configuration (or Datastore in pre-2.0). Kodo required the same thing pre-2.4, but the list is in an XML configuration file. Since Kodo 2.4.0, they've gotten rid of the listing alltogether, and every Java class that has a mapping file is treated as persistent capable. In reality this has simplified our lives a lot as developers.
So my question is, is there a rationale behind Hibernate's decision to list persistence types programmatically? Is there any plan to externalize this to, say, an XML file? Or better yet, get rid of it alltogether and treat everything as persistent so long there is a mapping file?
